I like that it tells you when your timer will be up, and I like the overall design, but I couldn't find a way to have the app ping (rather than only vibrate) when my sessions and breaks were up. Also, breaks got buggy—sometimes I'd take one and when I went to the app to start working, it would show the break being up but with no time, so I had to click "Skip." Lots of notifications, too, while running. Overall, the app is a little off from what I'm after.

This is a great alternative to Microsoft's focus mode. A lot more control and options without any of the glitches that Micro's have. My only critic is that the app only notifies you via vibration, even when all the sound options are on. But overall, use this app instead of focus mode if you need the concentration.

This app saved my life and grades so many times. I had a late diagnosis of adhd and started college during covid without figuring out any executive functioning skills. This app played a huge part in teaching me how to remain productive, complete assignments, study, and just get into the productive zone. From being unable to sit down for more than 5 minutes, this helped me build up to 2 hours and even longer. Just remember that it's not a cure; it's a tool.
